Hypertension is a prevalent pathology that increases risk for numerous cardiovascular diseases. Because the etiology of hypertension varies across patients, specific and effective therapeutic approaches are needed. The role of renal sympathetic nerves is established in numerous forms of hypertension, but their contribution to salt sensitivity and interaction with factors such as endothelin-1 are poorly understood. Rats deficient of functional ETB receptors (ETB-def) on all tissues except sympathetic nerves are hypertensive and exhibit salt-sensitive increases in blood pressure. We hypothesized that renal sympathetic nerves contribute to hypertension and salt sensitivity in ETB-def rats. The hypothesis was tested through bilateral renal sympathetic nerve denervation and measuring blood pressure during normal salt (0.49% NaCl) and high-salt (4.0% NaCl) diets. Denervation reduced mean arterial pressure in ETB-def rats compared with sham-operated controls by 12 ± 3 (SE) mmHg; however, denervation did not affect the increase in blood pressure after 2 wk of high-salt diet (+19 ± 3 vs. +16 ± 3 mmHg relative to normal salt diet; denervated vs. sham, respectively). Denervation reduced cardiac sympathetic-to-parasympathetic tone [low frequency-high frequency (LF/HF)] during normal salt diet and vasomotor LF/HF tone during high-salt diet in ETB-def rats. We conclude that the renal sympathetic nerves contribute to the hypertension but not to salt sensitivity of ETB-def rats.

Salt Sensitive Hypertension

We have demonstrated that Na/K-ATPase acts as a receptor for reactive oxygen species (ROS), regulating renal Na+ handling and blood pressure. TALLYHO/JngJ (TH) mice are believed to mimic the state of obesity in humans with a polygenic background of type 2 diabetes. This present work is to investigate the role of Na/K-ATPase signaling in TH mice, focusing on susceptibility to hypertension due to chronic excess salt ingestion. Age-matched male TH and the control C57BL/6J (B6) mice were fed either normal diet or high salt diet (HS: 2, 4, and 8% NaCl) to construct the renal function curve. Na/K-ATPase signaling including c-Src and ERK1/2 phosphorylation, as well as protein carbonylation (a commonly used marker for enhanced ROS production), were assessed in the kidney cortex tissues by Western blot. Urinary and plasma Na+ levels were measured by flame photometry. When compared to B6 mice, TH mice developed salt-sensitive hypertension and responded to a high salt diet with a significant rise in systolic blood pressure indicative of a blunted pressure-natriuresis relationship. These findings were evidenced by a decrease in total and fractional Na+ excretion and a right-shifted renal function curve with a reduced slope. This salt-sensitive hypertension correlated with changes in the Na/K-ATPase signaling. Specifically, Na/K-ATPase signaling was not able to be stimulated by HS due to the activated baseline protein carbonylation, phosphorylation of c-Src and ERK1/2. These findings support the emerging view that Na/K-ATPase signaling contributes to metabolic disease and suggest that malfunction of the Na/K-ATPase signaling may promote the development of salt-sensitive hypertension in obesity. The increased basal level of renal Na/K-ATPase-dependent redox signaling may be responsible for the development of salt-sensitive hypertension in polygenic obese TH mice.

Mediators Of Inflammation

Background: Paraoxonase 3 (Pon3), is one of the three isoforms of the paraoxonase gene family. While Pon1 and Pon2 are widely studied, there is a paucity of knowledge regarding Pon3. Pon3 is synthesized in the liver and can circulate bound to high-density lipoproteins. There is significant expression in the kidney also. Pon3 has the ability to metabolize eicosanoids, which can act as signaling molecules and have known roles in the pathophysiology of some renal diseases. Decreased Pon activity is associated with elevated levels of eicosanoid metabolites and adverse clinical outcomes. We tested the hypothesis that targeted disruption of Pon3 results in elevated levels of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids and progression of renal injury. Methods/ Results: Ten week old male Dahl salt-sensitive (SS rats) and Pon3 mutant rats (SS Pon3 KO) were maintained on 8% high salt diet for eight weeks, to initiate salt-sensitive hypertensive renal disease. Previously we observed that SS Pon3 KO rats on eight weeks high salt diet demonstrated significantly increased phenotypic renal injury and mortality. In the current study, we noted that SS Pon3 KO had significantly decreased (p<0.05) glomerular filtration rate compared to SS wild type. Blood pressure (radiotelemetry) as well as plasma angiotensin and aldosterone (LC-MS/MS) were not different between the two groups after high salt diet. We used targeted lipidomic profiling to determine eicosanoid content in renal cortex from SS Pon3 KO and SS wild type rats at the end of eight weeks of high salt diet. We found that hydroxyl fatty acids 5-HEPE and 5-HETE (5-lipoxygenase dependent arachidonic acid metabolites) were significantly (p<0.05) elevated in the renal cortex of SS Pon3 KO compared to SS wild type rats. In addition to being mediators of inflammation, these metabolites are associated with renal cell injury and death. Furthermore, prostaglandin 6-keto-PGF 1α , which has known links to renal inflammation, was significantly (p<0.05) increased in renal cortex of SS- Pon3 KO compared to SS wild type rats. Conclusion: These findings suggest that targeted deletion of Pon3 increases pro-inflammatory eicosanoids (5-HETE and 5-HEPE) and prostaglandins (6-keto-PGF 1α ), as well as increases renal damage independent of blood pressure.

Blood Pressure Responses

Recent studies by our group demonstrated that leptin is a direct regulator of aldosterone secretion and increases blood pressure via sex-specific mechanisms involving leptin-mediated activation of the aldosterone-mineralocorticoid receptor signaling pathway in females and sympatho-activation in males. Although it is well accepted that females secrete more leptin and aldosterone than males, it is unknown whether leptin infusion raises blood pressure similarly in male and female mice and whether higher aldosterone levels sensitize females to salt-induced hypertension. We hypothesized that female mice would be more sensitive to leptin than males and also have a potentiated blood pressure rise in response to high salt diet compared to males. Male and female Balb/C mice were implanted with radiotelemeters for continuous measurement of mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 10 weeks of age. MAP was measured for seven days prior to feeding with a high-salt diet (HS, 4%NaCl) for seven days. Following a recovery period, animals were then implanted with osmotic minipumps containing leptin (0.9mg/kg/day) recorded for seven days. Baseline MAP was similar between males and females (101.3±2.9 vs 99.3±3.7 mmHg, n=4 and 5, respectively), however, HS diet resulted in a greater MAP increase in females (15.0±2.6 mmHg) compared to males (3.1±4.5 mmHg, P<0.05). MAP with leptin treatment was increased with leptin in females moreso than in males, however, this did not reach significance (6.8±5.8 vs 1.8±5.9 mmHg, respectively). This potential sex difference in blood pressure responses to leptin was not associated with changes in body weight (0.07±0.44 vs -0.22±0.2 g, respectively) nor changes in blood glucose (-19.67±15.06 vs -15.4±11.4 mg/dl, respectively) in males and females in response to leptin. In summary, female mice are more sensitive to HS diet-induced blood pressure increases than males. Females may be more sensitive to leptin-mediated blood pressure increases than males. Further investigation is needed to determine whether these sex differences in blood pressure responses to HS diet and leptin are mediated by aldosterone or other mechanisms.

Deficient Mice

D 3 dopamine receptor (D 3 R) deficient mice have renin-dependent hypertension but the hypertension is mild and is not associated with oxidative stress. In order to determine if any compensatory mechanism in the kidney is involved in the regulation of blood pressure with disruption of D 3 R, we measured the renal protein expression of dopamine receptors in D 3 R homozygous (D 3 -/-) and heterozygous (D 3 +/-) knockout mice and their wild type (D 3 +/+) littermates. D 5 dopamine receptor (D 5 R) (169±23%, reported as % of D 3 +/+, n=5/group) expression was increased but D 4 dopamine receptors protein expression (59±8%) was decreased, while no significant changes were found with D 1 and D 2 dopamine receptors. Immunocytochemistry showed a stronger renal staining of D 5 R but without a change in renal tubule cell distribution in D 3 -/- relative to D 3 +/+ mice. D 5 R abundance was also increased in D 3 +/- (205±30%, n=5/group) relative to D 3 +/+ mice, while D 1 R abundance was similar between D 3 +/- and D 3 +/+ mice. The increase in D 5 R expression was abolished while blood pressure was increased further in D 3 -/- mice fed a high salt diet. Treatment of the D 1 -like (including D 1 and D 5 receptors) antagonist, SCH23390 , increased the blood pressure to a greater extent in anesthetized D 3 -/- mice than in D 3 +/+ mice (n=4/group), suggesting that the upregulation of D 5 R may modulate the hypertension in mice caused by the disruption of D 3 R. Since dopamine inhibits the NADPH oxidase-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the D 5 R, we also measured the protein expression of NOXs in the kidney and isoprostane in the urine. No NADPH oxidase subunit was increased in D 3 -/- and D 3 +/- mice relative to D 3 +/+ mice fed a normal or salt high salt diet, and urinary isoprostane excretion was also similar in D 3 -/- and D 3 +/+ mice. Our findings suggest that the upregulation of D 5 R may minimize the hypertension and prevent oxidative stress in D 3 -/- mice.

Bradykinin activity could explain the blood pressure increase during NaCl loading in hypertensive animals, but its contribution on vascular structure was not evaluated. We determined cardiac mass and large artery structure after a chronic, 4-mo, high-salt diet in combination with bradykinin B2-receptor blockade by Hoe-140. Four-week-old rats were divided into eight groups according to strain [spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) vs. Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats], diet (0.4 vs. 7% NaCl), and treatment (Hoe-140 vs. placebo). In WKY rats, a high-salt diet significantly increased intra-arterial blood pressure with minor changes in arterial structure independently of Hoe-140. In SHR, blood pressure remained stable but 1) the high-salt diet was significantly associated with cardiovascular hypertrophy and increased arterial elastin and collagen, and 2) Hoe-140 alone induced carotid hypertrophy. A high-salt diet plus Hoe-140 acted synergistically on carotid hypertrophy and elastin content in SHR, suggesting that the role of endogenous bradykinin on arterial structure was amplified in the presence of a high-salt diet.

The Difference

The aim of the present study is to investigate whether a disruption of the dipping pattern of blood pressure (BP) is associated with the progression of renal injury in Dahl salt-sensitive (DSS) hypertensive rats. Seven-week-old DSS rats were fed a high salt diet (HSD; 8% NaCl) for 10 weeks, followed by a transition to a normal salt diet (NSD; 0.3% NaCl) for 4 weeks. At baseline, NSD-fed DSS rats showed a dipper-type circadian rhythm of BP. By contrast, HSD for 5 days caused a significant increase in the difference between the active and inactive periods of BP with an extreme dipper type of BP, while proteinuria and renal tissue injury were not observed. Interestingly, HSD feeding for 10 weeks developed hypertension with a non-dipper pattern of BP, which was associated with obvious proteinuria and renal tissue injury. Four weeks after switching to an NSD, BP and proteinuria were significantly decreased, and the BP circadian rhythm returned to the normal dipper pattern. These data suggest that the non-dipper pattern of BP is associated with the progression of renal injury during the development of salt-dependent hypertension.

Abstract Preeclampsia is a common medical condition during pregnancy and a major cause of maternal and prenatal mortality. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of maternal treatment with pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) in Dahl salt-sensitive rats (DSSR), a model of superimposed preeclampsia. F0 parental DSSR were treated with PETN (50 mg/kg) from the time point of mating to the end of lactation. Maternal PETN treatment improved fetal growth and had no effect on blood pressure in DSSR offspring fed with normal chow or high-salt diet. Upon high-fat diet (HFD) feeding, offspring from PETN-treated mother showed improved glucose tolerance despite similar weight gain. Unexpectedly, maternal PETN treatment significantly potentiated the HFD-induced blood pressure elevation in male DSSR offspring. Endothelium-derived hyperpolarization factor (EDHF)-mediated vasodilation was similar between NCD-fed and HFD-fed control offspring but was markedly reduced in HFD-fed PETN offspring. EDHF genes were downregulated in the vasculature of HFD-fed PETN offspring, which was associated with epigenetic changes in histone modifications. In conclusion, maternal PETN treatment in DSSR shows both beneficial and unfavorable effects. It improves fetal growth and ameliorates glucose tolerance in the offspring. Although maternal PETN treatment has no effect on blood pressure in offspring fed with normal chow or high-salt diet, the offspring is at higher risk to develop HFD-induced hypertension. PETN may potentiate the blood pressure response to HFD by epigenetic modifications of EDHF genes. Key messages The core findings of this article suggest that maternal PETN treatment of DSSR, a rat model of a spontaneous superimposed preeclampsia, leads to • Improvement of fetal growth; • No changes of maternal blood pressure or markers of preeclampsia; • Amelioration of HFD-induced glucose intolerance in adult offspring; • No changes in blood pressure development of the offspring on normal chow or high salt-diet; • Potentiation of blood pressure elevation of the offspring on HFD.
